What else is there? The pussy you have and the income generating aspect are the two fuking pillars of being a man.

Anything else is 350% pure cope.

Honestly most gen X I know of don't have children and it is just a married couple that work for a living and live in a big house with no kids and keep to themselves. So I don't really have too many qualms with gen x as a generation.

But the gen x'ers that were almost boomers are some of the worst parents I have ever seen and that is saying a lot given how some of the boomers parented (or didn't parent rather) their kids.

We all know boomers are the worst and most selfish generation ever though. They failed society in a way that is pretty astounding.

its actually kind of scary to see this all play out with me in real time. I simply dont care anymore, I dont have the incentive to deal with the bullchit.

People seemed to forget that all of this chit is really one big social contract. Men are no longer getting their end of the deal in so many ways.

At the end of the day, if there's nothing in it for men, men won't bother anymore. I for one am neetmaxxing playing video games all day. Im done

lol, idk if having you on my side is a good thing based on your typical bullchit, but I believe we’re right here.

I didn’t mention power because that’s wrapped up in money, but it’s part and parcel of those two tenants.

This. There’s millions of 35K a year jobs out there. But you’ll never move out of mom’s basement.

There’s very few 150K+/year jobs. People literally don’t leave them until they’re dead, or have an opportunity to make 200K which is even more rare.

15/hour isn’t dick now. It’s the equivalent to 5/hour in 2000. Basically nothing. You can make way more living off of the government. I wouldn’t bother getting out of bed for 15 bucks an hour, or even 20 these days. I just got a raise to 85K a year and still feel poor.

I have lots saved from when I was on 100k/year but these 42k/year jobs (Canadian so 35k US tier) I've had this year have all had tons of dead lines, high work load, and stress. Not even close to worth it. I'm just about to quit my 3rd one this year.

Like my job is actually 8 straight hours of work to hit daily deadlines for various tasks and I can't make mistakes. For 42k a year? LOL. And they want me to stay?

And I know its not just me because you have had 2 people leave the role in a year..

Next you have the financial situation. All the boomers bought their houses for like 80k and now they're worth 400-500k that these new generations can't afford. Now most boomers are hanging on for dear life for their last years of their jobs making all the money and getting their pensions/retirement set and not allowing other generations to progress in their jobs.

Now mix that with high inflation and an economy that makes zero logical sense. Wages are stagnant, inflation via COL is skyrocketing still, they can't afford housing, and then let's get to the fun part in all of this......

When you see someone like SBF steal billions of dollars and political/financial leaders do high level banking crimes, insider trading and financial fraud with zero consequence, most guys are ready to clock out. Guys are coming out of college with little job security, not high enough wages, with tons of student loan debt, and then expected to attract a women to mate with?

Why would a young male that is taught he is toxic to this world, where females/gays are paraded around while men are shunned and degraded, where the economy is left in shambles because of past generations greed and mismanagement, and then apply the societal and religious collapse of our nation that has a 70% divorce rate, little to no moral compass and a culture degrading into disgusting filth and people are surprised that young men are giving up on life that has NO PURPOSE.

Men need purpose...especially young men. No one is giving it to them. They weren't raised with purpose. No one ever taught them how to be a man or how to navigate life as a man. Boomers and gen x'ers failed their children. What the fuk do you expect from this generation? They were literally put in a position by their parents and school systems to be forced to wear masks for 8 hours a day and get vaxxed in order to participate in society because their parents failed them. Nothing makes sense socially, culturally, economically and people still expect them to clock in for 40k a year in a city for a souless job that mandates vaccines and some ******* cringe fuks on tik tok and youtube are making millions doing fuk all?

Maybe checking out IS what's best for society overall. Why should billions of men continue to participate in a system that has them economically, physicially and spiritually CUCKED. In todays society being productive = making an oligarch kunt even more rich. Fuk that.

That's honestly what immigration is initially designed for. Cheap labor.

This is why a doomercel like me embraces **** like this. We are going down a path mankind hasn't gone down before. Its generally fascinating to see the human condition falling from grace. The last few years have been a eye opener for the normies. Deep down they know this generation and next is ROYAL ****KED but keep there heads buried. Ive watched vids on Americas problems with the Economy, Marriage, Social media, Dating, Clown world, Agendas, Automation and its trickling over here to the UK and other western countries. For someone like me whos pretty much opted out of this bull****. I can't wait to see how this ****storm will finish off my generation. Its grim to see modern society attack every fibre of what is is to be a Man.

Fantastical elements to restore order would be WW3, Catastrophic event that affects the Earth , EMP being used etc basically anything that destroys modern society and needs the foundations to be built again. Thats the only way for masculinity to be restored imo

Until that possibility.....Its game over for alot of us

You know I got a lot of flack on here and often called a loser, just lol at these posts.

I've been on a long ass dry spell. I don't go out at all. Srs. Yet I have no qualms of giving up. Porn, drugs, and videogames don't satisfy in the latest. My one and only complaint is working 40 hours a week.

For me money = freedom and hobbies. Now if I could just find a great high paid career or start my own business to work my own hours.

Honestly most whites dudes I know don’t have to work. They easily get degrees but don’t need them. They get hook ups and stuff. I kind of regret turning down supervisor and manager jobs now because I’m laid off I have to start at the bottom everywhere I go instead of pretending I’m dion sanders. Actually got told to apply for manager at my job last night.

I honestly don’t mind working. I’ve had so many jobs. I’ve worked on tons of warehouses and on docks. I don’t know what it’s called but I’m good at finding the fastest way of doing things and I’m good at organizing people. You could take me to any warehouse or trucking dock in America and give me a quick briefing and in 5 minutes I could find a faster way of doing it. I guess that’s the Russian in me. That’s just what I’m good at. It’s also fun being around different type of people. Who wants to be hone all day? If I got to work part time at McDonald’s to afford a better whip I’ll do it

There's plenty of stuff man. You think Jeff Bezos, Michael Jordan, or Mike Tyson cares more about pussy than their achievements? I just don't understand why you all are so desperate for sex. A lot of guys hate their wife and worn out with kids.

Just lol at defining yourself through your job or pussy.

Lol.

Over the last decade we’ve applauded and outright encouraged women to shed their gender roles , often at the expense of demonizing men and masculinity


But every action has a reaction. Don’t be surprised that men want to shed their gender roles as well, and don’t be surprised if the outcome is very bad for society



Not a NEET nor do i really sympathize with them, but in the end society will get the society it deserves

I’m actually 42 and my full time job of 7 years laid me off. I have a part time job but it slows down come January. I’m confident I’ll find something but probably not what I was making before. Stuff getting real for real. Seems like you have to be black to get a job now or move up.

This is the big shift really.

Men don’t care about money, by and large they don’t. Men / bachelors are perfectly fine living in a 1 BR apartment, eating frozen pizza every other meal, and entertaining themselves with sorts, video games, computer, etc. no not every man, but the majority NPC male it comes down to providing. give them a wife and kid and they will fall in line and work hard for them.

But without that they don’t care. Meanwhile women are climbing to the top of the workforce solely to buy their materialistic possessions, pamper their dog, go on trips to social media clout.

Men really don’t care. Men just need a mattress and a tv

The current mating crisis

There's more women going to college than men and graduating.

But then women only date up. If you don't have a degree women won't talk to you.

So it's created this big mating crisis.
